RALEIGH, N.C. -- An agreement between
Wake County and electronics manufacturer Motorola
will soon allow police to patrol major public venues around Raleigh without
a large on-site presence.

The county is among the first to deploy the Motomesh
wireless system that lets law enforcement authorities to use laptop computers
and handheld devices to view footage from security cameras from virtually
anywhere.

About $200,000 in Department of Homeland Security funds
is being used to pay for surveillance at the State Fairgrounds, Carter-Finley
Stadium and the RBC Center.

Four cameras -- two in the fairgrounds and one each
at the other venues -- now provide images to North Carolina State University
and State Fairgrounds police. The county hopes the system will tie Raleigh
police into the venues for added security during events like the North Carolina
State Fair, N.C. State athletic games and concerts, although the police
department doesn't yet have access to the system.

"We host many large events at our world-class
venues in Wake County, and we needed a solution to better protect our residents
and guests without having to increase the size of the security detail,"
John Higgins, the county's assistant director for information technology,
said in a statement.

Some people told NBC-17 that the added security is
worth the potential invasion of privacy.

"I don't think there can be enough protection,
especially when I bring my sons to the games," Melissa Moesta said.

"It doesn't really particularly bother me. I think
there are some people that may need watching," one woman said with
a laugh.

"Big Brother might as well watch. He's watching
everywhere else," another woman said. "If it slows down on crime,
all the better, I suppose."
